As I said on Twitter yesterday, I"m having a lot of trouble getting excited about Meyer's departure from Florida. My reasoning is pretty simple. Florida isn't Georgia's biggest obstacle to success right now.

Georgia's biggest obstacle to success at this point is Georgia. We absolutely must get our own house in order, or we won't take advantage of Meyer's departure. I still believe now as I did last off season, that our problems are:

1. Sense of Urgency2. Lack of a Meritocracy - Which I would extend to the hiring process3. Personnel Utilization Issues

I'm glad Meyer's gone because he's an excellent coach, but I'm more interested in what Mark Richt and Greg McGarity are doing in Athens than what Jeremy Foley is doing in Gainesville.

I concur with getting the UGA house in order. I really like Chip Kelly's approach to coaching where (at least he says) he does not worry about who they are playing only about executing on their end. Realistically, you have to adjust some to the team you are playing, but for the most part you need to execute your offense and defense to be successful.

I hardly batted an eye when the news on Meyer broke. I'm so tired of Georgia obsessing over everything "Florida." That's probably been the problem over the last 20 years. Cannot do a damn thing about what Florida does or doesn't do. We've got to fix Georgia. I hope McGarity can apply his knowledge he learned in Gainesville to our advantage.

During a press conference in Memphis to promote the Liberty Bowl, Richt was asked about his team’s turnaround after a 1-4 start. After saying wryly that “getting A.J. Green back may have helped,” Richt spoke again about the decision not to be as physical in preseason practice.

“I definitely take the blame for the start, because I didn’t get us ready,” he said.

If you guys think Richt has the answers to fix things you are fooling yourself. He is a coach without a sense of urgency or accountability from the people above him. After last year’s performance there is no excuse for not having the team ready to play this year.

Anon- I think that's more just coach speak than anything. I wouldn't look too much into it. He's the head coach; he's basically required to take the blame and give some BS excuse about why we lost games.

yeah, what the heck. This used to be my favorite blog, and now...nothing. The posts are still quality every time there is one...which is practically never. I guess yall don't care about UGA anymore since we started slipping.
